I have been absent from the forums for a few years. Still enjoyed my watches, but didn’t make any new acquisitions till this month. Really love the new addition to my collection. Blue is so mesmerizing in person. This is a keeper.

Thanks. I feel like I never left. Except the prices creeped up a bit since I was active here :-). Not a bad thing for my collection.

Thanks. It a beautiful piece. I was ready to pick any of the SkyDweller pieces. I was pleasantly surprised it was the blue dial.

Fantastic watch! Had you been planning on picking up the Sky Dweller or was it a happy accident?

The 326934 blue dial is an exceptional piece. You don't mess around.

I wanted one for a while, but was not ready to pull the trigger. That changed when I asked my AD if they would be getting one soon and they did few days after I asked. As the AD said, I got lucky to spend my money ;-). Enjoying the watch tremendously.

Agreed. Haven’t seen one in person and the phone pictures don’t make this dial justice.

One reason for me wanting one was the complications on this watch. My first annual calendar and such a beauty.

Looks a good size on you too.... I have the same watch and am very pleased with it. Congratulations! :)

As a note of possible interest, I am self regulating mine as it runs a couple of seconds slow - but leaving it dial up overnight has made it the most accurate watch I own... it's been absolutely spot on time for weeks. I don't know if Rolex's are particularly susceptible to self regulation, but mine certainly is.

Congrats on adding one of the most difficult SS sport models to get right now. Blue dial SkyD is amazing. Welcome back to the forum as well.
